    I agree. I haven't had that much fun at a film in a long time. I loved it!

    The Seven Year Itch. It actually had a couple really funny moments. Couple that with the stunning Marilyn Monroe, very, very watchable movie.

    Thanks for the heads up, just watched Raiders {[] brilliant
    Mid week pick me up. A fantastic film. I still think the
    Fight round the aircraft is one of the best action sequences
    Ever put on film. :))

    I think R.O.T.LA. has some of the best stunts in movies ,(possible future thread :) ) we saw the Indiana Jones show at Disneys Hollywood studios
    in Orlando , it was magic to see it all explained, a must see show :) its probably on you tube somewhere ,

    Vic Armstrong was Harrison Fords stunt double.
    Favourite line from the film "I hate snakes Jock" :))

    I love the line,
    " looks very dangerous, You go first ! " :))

    Pains me to think of what a hash they made of Indy 4 :#

    Did learn one thing from that film, If you hide in a fridge it protects you from a nuclear explosion :))

    :)) Yes very useful, I hope they've put that into the
    latest "Protect and survive" leaflet in case of Nuclear war. :))

    With Crystal Skull, I always get the impression they had a better time making it than we had watching it!
    Everything looked as if it was filmed in a studio, poor plot and dialogue, poor villain, Karen Allen, wasteful Of John Hurt, don't even get me started on the CGI monkeys or those rodents at the beginning...

    Its a shocker isn't it!

    I agree everything looks pristine and fake. Even his main adventure clothes look newish.

    Should not have bothered with it - watching Raiders compared to that tripe is astounding to say the least

    Jaws 2 on AMC. Nothing really on at the time. It's alright, but it's not one to re-watch I'd say.
  • AlphaOmegaSinAlphaOmegaSin EnglandPosts: 10,924MI6 Agent
    I give anything after Jaws 2 a wide Birth :)

    It's similar to the Sleepaway Camp or Nightmare on Elm Street Franchises, both got daft after there second or third Outing.

    Jaws was a masterpiece, the rest just got worse until they became drivel :#

    I actually saw Jaws 3 at an advance screening in a theater in Chicago. Believe it or not, sitting two seats away from me was Roger Ebert and seated right in front of me was Gene Siskel. At the time they were co-hosting their television program At The Movies . On the way out of the theater I happened to be walking next to Mr. Ebert. I told him I was a big fan of the show. He said thanks, and then he shook his head and said "That was really awful, wasn't it?", referring to the mess we had just seen. I quickly agreed and I mentioned a particular scene in which Chief Brody's wife appeared to be having a flashback about an event that occurred when she wasn't even present. Ebert chuckled and said that he noticed that too. When I watched Siskel and Ebert's review of Jaws 3, Ebert used that scene as an example of how silly the movie was. Needless to say, I had a big grin on my face when I saw that!

    Didn't mean to go off on a tangent, but I was a big fan of Ebert's and I was really touched by his recent death. I will always have fond memories of my brief encounter with him.

    Great that you got to meet those two great reviewers, BL. I enjoy watching copies of their programmes on You Tube, especially the Bond ones like OP and AVTAK. Sad indeed that they're no longer with us. :(

    Yes, and I really enjoyed their written reviews that appeared in their respective newspapers as well.

    Yes, those would well worth a read too. I wonder if they are collected in book form?

    I believe several volumes of Roger Ebert's reviews have been published.
